Cody's Newspaper Awards Night

Cody had a Newspaper awards ceremony last night where he recieved Kudo's for working so hard. They also gave out Spoof awards and no suprise to us who know Cody, he got the person with the Best Taste In Food (He loves his food). I think Cody found his niche, he had alot of fun being a reporter for the school paper and he will continue next year, look for more bragging from a very proud Momma. The picture is of Cody and his Teacher.

Our 17th Anniversary

Gary and I celebrated our 17th year of marriage on June 13th, who would've thought? Where does time go? We went to a very nice restaurant called Palisades in Magnolia, we were joined by Gary's parents who by the way are celebrating their 50th this July. We had a really wonderful evening.

Funny Story

I was coming home from Fred Meyer the other night and as I was approaching the intersection of a very busy road I saw a bunch of cop cars with lights flashing across the street at a gas station I was so intrigued as I have always been with cop cars and ambulances anyhoo I guess I gawked a little too long and before I knew it my lane had went from two to one and I had proceeded to drive over 3 huge Orange Traffic Cones, you know the ones that are so orange and huge even Mr. Magoo could see them, Those 3 cones became wedge under my car so as I drove through the intersection where all the cops were that is all you could hear was the thump thump thump of the cones, I quickly pulled over yes in the same gas station as all of the cops were at and got under my car and pulled the smashed down cones out and tried to put them to the side so as not draw attention to myself. I am quite sure that numerous other drivers got a good laugh for the night. HeeHee

Theresa's Birthday

Tonight I hosted Bible Study at my house and we celebrated Theresa one of the girls in our groups Birthday. I decided to make an IceCream cake that I had seen on the cover of a magazine and had made one time before. The cake turned out pretty good, however I forgot to take a picture until we were half way done. But I was so proud of my cake I thought I would put a picture of it and it also gives me something to blog about. On a side note all the girls loved my Temari so I think there will be orders coming your way shi.

Nathan's 9th Birthday

we celebrated our little guy (quite literally little guy, he is just like his dad) Nathan's 9th birthday Friday. The poor little guy had been sick the whole week leading up to his b'day and he still wasn't feeling up to par. We had some pizza, opened some presents and ate some cake. We had a good time.
